Dual TLR2 and TLR7 agonists as HIV latency-reversing agents. [PDF]
The presence of a reservoir of latently infected cells in HIV-infected patients is a major barrier towards finding a cure. One active cure strategy is to find latency-reversing agents that induce viral reactivation, thus leading to immune cell recognition and elimination of latently infected cells, known as the shock-and-kill ...

NSC95397 Is a Novel HIV-1 Latency-Reversing Agent
The latent viral reservoir represents one of the major barriers to curing HIV-1. Focus on the “kick and kill” (also called “shock and kill”) approach, in which virus expression is reactivated, and then cells producing virus are selectively depleted, has led to the discovery of many latency-reversing agents (LRAs) that have furthered our understanding ...

Novel Latency Reversal Agents for HIV-1 Cure. [PDF]
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has rendered HIV-1 infection a treatable illness; however, ART is not curative owing to the persistence of replication-competent, latent proviruses in long-lived resting T cells. Strategies that target these latently infected cells and allow immune recognition and clearance of this reservoir will be necessary to eradicate ...

Harmine enhances the activity of the HIV-1 latency-reversing agents ingenol A and SAHA. [PDF]
Infection of HIV-1 remains incurable because long-lived, latently-infected cells persist during prolonged antiretroviral therapy. Attempts to pharmacologically reactivate and purge the latent reservoir with latency reactivating agents (LRAs) such as protein kinase C (PKC) agonists (e.g. ingenol A) or histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors (e.g.

Optimal Control of an HIV Model with Gene Therapy and Latency Reversing Agents
In this paper, we study the dynamics of HIV under gene therapy and latency reversing agents. While previous works modeled either the use of gene therapy or latency reversing agents, we consider the effects of a combination treatment strategy.

Experimental Systems for Measuring HIV Latency and Reactivation
The final obstacle to achieving a cure to HIV/AIDS is the presence of latent HIV reservoirs scattered throughout the body. Although antiretroviral therapy maintains plasma viral loads below the levels of detection, upon cessation of therapy, the latent ...
